With every property transaction, building project and deal there is always a large number of skills and professions involved in order to see them through to a satisfactory conclusion.

It is very often the case that within those transactions the efforts of one individual shins through above others as the driving force to see them succeed.

There are individuals in most practices who are behind the scenes and don’t always receive the recognition and this award, as part of the Nottingham Post Business Awards, is there to allow them to be recognised.

As building surveyors we are often part of such teams and regularly see these individuals that make our lives easier and we are delighted to support this award and recognise those individuals within the business community.

The city is a thriving place for businesses to be based and as a commercial radio station covering Nottinghamshire we always try to support the local business community.

We like to give back to, and recognise particular organisations and individuals that have contributed in some way to our thriving area.

The city’s central location with easy access to surrounding cities is of course one of the main advantages for business growth.

But ultimately it is down to the drive and desire to succeed that flows throughout the members of the community that makes the county inspirational.

With two leading universities and many successful colleges, Nottingham leaves the door wide open for future innovators.
